1. Scope
This Policy applies to our Android mobile application and its in-app features.
2. What Information We Collect
- Local video information (processed on device only): With your permission, the App reads video metadata on your device, such as file name, duration, file size, folder path, media URI, and thumbnail frame, so it can display and play your videos. This information is processed locally and is not uploaded to our servers.
- Favorites, sorting, search, and playback preferences (stored on device): The App may store your selected preferences, favorite videos, playback progress, and related app settings on your device to support core features such as browsing, sorting, favorites, and resuming playback.
- Temporary cache files (stored on device): The App may create temporary cache data to improve video browsing or playback. Cache files remain on your device and may be removed by clearing cache, clearing app storage, uninstalling the App, or by the Android system.
- Optional user messages: If you contact us by email, we will process the information you provide, such as your email address and message content, only to respond to your inquiry.
We do not knowingly collect sensitive categories of personal data.

- To remember playback progress and app preferences on your device.

4. Data Sharing and Third Parties
We do not sell your personal data. We do not upload your local video library, video files, video metadata, favorites, playback history, or search activity to our servers. We do not share this information with third parties.
5. Permissions We Request
Depending on your Android version, the App may request permissions such as:
- READ_MEDIA_VIDEO or equivalent media access permission: To scan, display, organize, and play videos stored on your device.
- Storage or media permissions on older Android versions: To access local videos where required by the operating system.
Permissions are requested only when needed for app functionality. If you deny a permission, the related feature may be unavailable.
6. Data Storage, Retention, and Deletion
- Location: App data is stored locally on your device, such as in app preferences, local databases, and cache.
- Retention: Favorites, playback progress, and preferences remain until you clear them, clear app storage, or uninstall the App. Temporary cache files may be removed by the App, by clearing cache, or by the Android system.
- Your control: You can remove local app data by using the App's available controls, clearing cache/storage in Android system settings, or uninstalling the App.
7. Children's Privacy
The App is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us and we will take appropriate steps to delete it.
8. Security
Your video information is processed and stored locally on your device. Android's app sandbox and permission model help protect local data. However, no method of storage or transmission is completely secure, so please protect your device and manage app permissions carefully.
9. International Transfers
We do not transfer your local video data internationally because we do not upload it to our servers. If you contact us by email, your message may be processed by email service providers according to their own infrastructure and policies.
